Arouca vs Estoril – Top Betting Tips & Predictions

Arouca ended 2022 in disappointing fashion after a 5-1 loss at the hands of Porto in the league. Meanwhile, Estoril have not been in action since the middle of December when they lost to Famalicao in the Taca da Liga home game.

Victory for Arouca

Estoril are likely to be rusty after not having been in action for almost a month. They go up against an Arouca outfit who will be very pleased to come back to home comforts. This is the first home game for Arouca in more than a month. After a 2-1 victory over Estoril exactly a year ago, this will be the first meeting and the home team are in a very good shape to pick up three points in this game.

Total goals over 2.5

The last three encounters involving Arouca have all featured over 2.5 goals without exception. Even though the team has gone up against some difficult opponents in the Taca da Liga, they have been able to fire on all cylinders in the final third. Estoril have scored in four out of the last five matches but their defence has been so poor that it has helped opponents get over 2.5 goals with ease.

Both teams to score – yes

Estoril are looking for a first league clean sheet since early October. Such has been the poor defensive performance of Nelson Verissimo’s team that they find themselves struggling to hold on to the mid-table spots. Arouca are likely to make the most of the same.

Arouca vs Estoril: Primeira Liga Game Preview with Team News

Arouca

Arouca come into the fixture after having registered a decent set of results until the heavy loss to Porto just before the end of the year. Manager Armando Evangelista might go for some changes in the starting line-up after the heavy loss. Vitinho has been ruled out of the game while Rafa Mújica is rated as a big doubt. João Valido is expected to feature as the starting goalkeeper.

Estoril

Estoril should have been in action against Boavista but the postponement of the game means that the visitors are likely to be a lot fresher coming into the game. Erison will be unavailable because of a suspension while there are no injury problems for Nelson Verissimo. João Carlos will be starting up front as the striker.
